It has a lot to do with the new 8 speed trans too. My old Ram had a 5 speed auto and 3.55 gears, my current one is an 8 speed with 3.21's and it is way faster out of the hole than the old one, and better all around. Also feels much stronger when towing my camper compared to the old one as well, even though its the same engine in it.
